VOLUNTARY RESIGNATION.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL Mr.. Eugene
Higgins, chief Of the appointment diyi
sion, said that the report that he will
shortly retire from the public service is
tue. He will soon tender his resigna
ton to Secretary Fairchili, but he mas
not yet fixed upon the exact date. H
wanted it understood however that his re-
ttrement was voluntarily and was in
no way due to efforts OF the people who
have shown dIsss abstraction at his reten-
ton in Office. The reason is his desire to
better his condition in life by going iuto
business for himself. The reason why he
has not resigned before was that he was
being assailed upon all sides, and he
could not bring himself to retreat
under nre. All statements by him as to
the voluntary nature Of his retirement
are confirmed by those officials who are
In position to know, and it was added
that the Secretary was entirely satisfied
with his management of the division and
has never had cause to regret his appoint
ment.
